Tamron’s new 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens for Sony E Mount to be announced this week

by Leave a Comment

Photos of the upcoming Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens for Sony E Mount leaked a couple of weeks ago. With promotional product photos out there in the wild, we knew it wouldn’t be long before there was an official announcement. Now it looks like we might see that announcement come at some point this week.

A tweet from Nokishita (who else?) suggests that you’ll be able to pre-order and reserve your new lens in Japan next week. A screenshot from French retailer, Photo Univers that seemed to jump the gun a little, also suggests it will be significantly less expensive than Sony’s FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM, with a price tag of only €1,499.

Samsung rumoured to be developing an insane 150-megapixel 1″ sensor for a smartphone coming in Q4

by Leave a Comment

If we needed any more evidence that the megapixel wars had shifted from DSLRs and mirrorless cameras to phones, then this is it. According to GizChina, Samsung is developing a 150-megapixel 1″ sensor for smartphones. Yes, a sensor similar in size to that found in cameras like the Sony RX100 series is going into a smartphone. Specifically, a Xiaomi smartphone and it’ll happen before the end of this year.

New Canon EOS R6 specs leak shows a mirrorless 6D Mark II with 4K60 video, IBIS and dual card slots

by Leave a Comment

With the exception of the coronavirus, the photography world is glued to news of Canon’s upcoming EOS R5 – essentially the mirrorless continuation of Canon’s popular EOS 5D DSLR line. But Canon is also working on an EOS R6, which looks set to replace the EOS 6D DSLR product line – which will presumably end with the 6D Mark II.

EOS R6 talk has been a little quiet for a while, but a few new specs about the camera have been leaked via Canon Rumors. The new specs add to those from a couple of months ago, and offer a little more insight into what we can expect.

Canon’s high resolution (90-MP?) EOS R mirrorless camera being field tested, report says

by 2 Comments

Last week, it was reported that the high-resolution 50-megapixel Canon EOS 5DS and 5DSR DSLRs had ceased production. While Canon still hasn’t confirmed this, and you can still currently buy one, it makes a lot of sense to kill off this camera now, with 40+ megapixels starting to become more common with the likes of the Nikon D850 & Z7 and Sony A7R IV.

There have been rumours of a super-high-resolution Canon EOS R mirrorless camera for quite a while now, but we haven’t heard much lately. Now, though, Canon Rumors is reporting that such a camera is being tested with select photographers.

Production of the Canon EOS 5DS & 5DSR has stopped, report claims

by Leave a Comment

According to a report on Canon Rumors, production of the high-resolution Canon DSLRs, the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DSR has ended. There’s been no confirmation from Canon yet, and it’s still listed as a current model on both the Canon USA and Canon Japan websites, and a stop in production doesn’t necessarily mean “Discontinued” just yet, but Canon Rumors says they’ve heard this from multiple sources now.

A 43-megapixel 8K Sony sensor has been “leaked” but could it possibly be real?

by 3 Comments

Recently, word of a new Sony IMX671AQR sensor was “leaked” via the Fuji Rumors comments. There isn’t much info about it except for what appears to be a screenshot of the first page of a datasheet. That screenshot details a 43-megapixel APS-C camera capable of shooting 12-bit 8K video. But is it for real?

Doubt is starting to be cast on the legitimacy of the leak on a number of sites, and I’m inclined to agree. Given that we’ve still yet to see a replacement for the ageing Sony A7S II or even a legit hint of a new sensor for a theoretical A7S III, I can’t imagine they’d be packing this much power into an APS-C sized sensor already.

The complete specs for the upcoming Fujifilm X-T4 have leaked

by 1 Comment

If there’s one thing about Fuji shooters, they tend to get very excited whenever a new model is on the way. They like speculating about what features it may have, whether this’ll change or that’ll see an upgrade. There have been a lot of rumours about the upcoming Fujifilm X-T4, but now it looks like all of those rumours can be put to bed. Maybe.

Nokishita has leaked what they say the complete spec sheet for the Fujifilm X-T4, which covers everything from the sensor and other hardware to the software features and the new Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation mode.

Here’s every leak and rumour we know about the Fujifilm X-T4 so far

by Leave a Comment

Man, Fuji rumour mill has been going nuts over the last couple of days with Fujifilm X-T4 leaks. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around them all to see how things are shaping up, and which leaks and rumours seem to be the most reliable and thought I’d try to compile them here in one place.

Bear in mind, though, these are leaks and rumours. Until we hear an official announcement from Fuji, there are no guarantees.

Nope, never mind, full-frame Foveon release on hold indefinitely, says Sigma, but they’re working on it

by 5 Comments

Well, this is a bit of an anti-climax. Sigma UK recently added an event to their Facebook page for their CP+ announcements, with a couple of clues suggesting that we might be about to finally hear an announcement about the long-awaited full-frame Foveon. Today, though, Sigma Global has announced that a full-frame Foveon camera is essentially on hold indefinitely.
